Wiki Do Now 11/13

  1. How can a wiki be used a current class on your schedule (not this course)? Pick a class and be specific how the class could create and use a Wiki on a regular basis (tip: Use the Internet, here is a good source).
                    Wiki can be use in many different classes,  one class I use wiki on is in world history.  Ms. Garvin already use wiki to do projects.   I have use wiki twice in that class, one time for a religion and one time for a ruler.  
        
      2.  What are the benefits of using a wiki in class?
                        
                      By using wiki in class, it's easier for her to grade on the computer and it helps us  learn how to use wiki.

        3.  How can we create a wiki in this class, what would be contribute to it and how would be utilize it on an on-going basis?

                    She already had a wiki account and she just adds us in.  We use it to do projects.

        4.  What experience do you have using or creating wikis?
                     
                  I have never created a wiki.  I have use the wiki to do group projects.  I have also use a wiki to look up the basic information of somethings.

Do Now 11/11

     Last week we had only two days of school, Monday and Wednesday.  On Tuesday, I did some homework for Wednesday.  On Tuesday, I got my iPhone 6! I was waiting on line from 9:39 to 10:31.  I had waited on line for two times, this is the third time.  The first time was on September 20, it was the second day since the iPhone had came out, but after three hours of waiting they only bring me the bad news that there was no more phones available.  The second time was on Columbus day, I waited for four and they tell me that no phones are available anymore, I was the second one I really thought I would get it.  But on November 4, a miracle happened and I got it for waiting just half an hour.  On Thursday, I did a little homework, relaxed, and listen to Austin Mahone.  On Friday, I hang out with friends.  On Saturday, I went shopping with my mother.  On Sunday,  I went to New York, it was the worst time since it was freezing cold.
